Chapter 8

Song Yu was momentarily stunned. Making her reveal the truth from four years ago in public—wouldn't that ruin her?

But if she didn't speak, she wouldn't gain Xu Dong's forgiveness. Such a big leg to cling to, why worry about the future if she just held on tightly?

It was just a matter of reputation. As long as she and Xu Dong reconciled, with the Su family as her backing, who would dare to gossip or point fingers at her behind her back?

After a brief weighing of the pros and cons, a look of regret instantly appeared on Song Yu's face.

"I am the murderer! I'm sorry, Xu Dong, it's all my fault!"

"Four years ago, it was I who accidentally killed someone. If it weren't for your kindness and fear of my suffering, you wouldn't have taken the blame for me, and I wouldn't be where I am today."

"I originally planned to wait for your release and marry you, but I never expected that Ye Kai would threaten me, saying that if I didn't be with him, he would reveal the truth to everyone!"

Song Yu covered her face and sobbed, portraying herself as an innocent and pure lotus, and pushing all the blame onto Ye Kai.

Xu Dong smiled, but his smile was particularly cold. He really didn't know that Song Yu had two faces.

Those who could attend this party were all shrewd people. Song Yu's pitiful words were useless to them.

"This woman is truly heartless. Mr. Xu kindly took the blame for her, and she not only turned around and hooked up with another man but also insulted Mr. Xu. She's worse than an animal."

"Truly an ungrateful woman. Mr. Xu helped her out of righteousness, but she not only didn't feel grateful but also gave him a greater blow when he was down. She's utterly shameless."

"Mr. Xu is truly benevolent, worthy of being Mr. Su's friend."

The guests around them gathered to flatter him. Su Bo also looked at Xu Dong with greater respect, unable to resist praising him: "This young man truly embodies the spirit of 'a doctor's benevolence.' He is willing to bear all hardships for his loved one, a man of true character. Only through hardship can one become great. This young man's future achievements will surely be significant."

Xu Dong smiled and nodded in response, but he was very clear that these people treated him this way merely to please Su Bo.

However, he believed that one day, these people would flatter him for his own sake.

He wouldn't be disheartened by this temporary setback. Now that he had the Heavenly Medical Canon, he was full of confidence.

Song Yu didn't care about others' reactions; she just needed to hold onto Xu Dong firmly.

"Xu Dong, I've done everything you asked me to do. You should fulfill your promise, right? Can you forgive me? It was all my fault, but I've always had you in my heart. Can we reconcile?"

"What do you think? How can you have the nerve to beg for my forgiveness? After I went to prison for you, you turned around and hooked up with Ye Kai, and after my release, you humiliated and trampled me. Why do you think I would forgive you?"

Xu Dong narrowed his eyes, his disgust clearly visible.

He should be grateful that he saw through this woman's ugly face in time.

"No... Xu Dong, you're wronging me. It was all Ye Kai's demands. If I didn't agree, he would ruin me!"

"Then why are you saying it now?" Xu Dong laughed coldly. "Song Yu, all you want is money and status. Stop making yourself out to be so pitiful. You don't even feel ashamed, but I do for you."

"Xu Dong, you! You're not keeping your word! You clearly promised me that if I revealed the truth from four years ago, you would forgive me!"

Song Yu's face changed dramatically. Being humiliated by Xu Dong in front of everyone, she had lost all her dignity. If Xu Dong didn't forgive her and reconcile with her, how could she continue to live in Donghai City?

Xu Dong laughed, his eyes full of ridicule: "Song Yu, you made me suffer in prison for four long years. Do you know what kind of dark and hopeless days I endured there?"

"Do you know how much pain I endured to get to today?"

"You have no idea, and you betrayed me, who loved you wholeheartedly. I will never forgive you in this life, never. Get lost!"

"How can you break your word like this?"

Song Yu was momentarily stunned. Tears streamed down her previously beautiful face, and her carefully applied makeup was smeared.

Hearing this, Xu Dong's smile grew even wider. He coldly snorted and mocked her: "It seems the one breaking their word is you. You promised to marry me after my release, but what did you do? You gave me such a big green hat and still want me to forgive you? Who gave you the nerve?"

"You! How can you treat me like this!"

Song Yu was shocked. Wasn't Xu Dong the one who loved her the most?

Back then, she had begged him, and Xu Dong had softened and taken the blame for her.

She had thought Xu Dong would always love her and protect her, but she never expected that this man would change so suddenly!

"Security, take this crazy woman out!"

"Yes, Mr. Su."

The security guards around them, hearing Su Bo's words, rushed forward to escort Song Yu out.

Song Yu tried to struggle, but the security guards gave her no chance and showed no mercy, dragging her out by her arms.

"Just a farce, everyone. Let's continue the party!"

Su Bo said indifferently, and the guests around him smiled and nodded in agreement. No matter how influential the guests were, none dared to act rashly in front of him.

"Mr. Xu, I'm truly sorry for making you uncomfortable tonight. It's all my fault for inviting you to this party."

Su Bo was full of regret. Xu Dong had done a great favor for the Su family, and he should have sincerely repaid him, but due to a momentary mistake, he had made Xu Dong unhappy. This was his fault.

"It's fine, just a coincidence."

Xu Dong shook his head and smiled. He wasn't someone who held grudges, and this matter couldn't be blamed on Su Bo.

Su Bo smiled gratefully and continued chatting with Xu Dong.

"I never expected Mr. Xu to be so righteous, to take the blame for the woman he loved and endure the pain that no one else could bear."

When Su Bo said this, his eyes were full of sincerity, and his words were filled with genuine admiration.

"Ha, I was just being foolish."

Xu Dong laughed self-deprecatingly. He didn't want to talk about the events from four years ago, but some people just couldn't let it go.

But this time, he would show them that he wasn't a pushover.

"Yes, sometimes good people don't get good rewards."

Su Bo also sighed. Xu Dong glanced at him in surprise, wondering if the Su family CEO had a story of his own.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

A sudden round of applause broke out, and everyone turned to look. A middle-aged man, dressed in a well-tailored designer suit and smiling, was walking over.

This man was the president of Sun Family's Qinglong Pharmaceutical, Sun Zhenghao.
